Curse of the 15th

Guardian Angel

In the last chapter...

In a brief, blurry moment while losing the last bit of oxygen that was left in her lungs, she sees a young man in front of her, wearing old fashioned clothes. She was sinking slowly and it felt like she was in outer space, where there was no gravity.

The last thing she remembers as the water started filling her lungs was that the man grabbed her. After that, everything around her turned black.

After being discovered on the beach of Dalkey Island by an old couple taking a walk, Emlyn was rushed to the closest hospital. Miraculously, she didn't seem to have any long-term injuries, nor did her brain take great damage due to the lack of oxygen. 

"She must have had the most hard-working guardian angel there is" the doctor stated after having been unable to explain her good condition. 

And maybe she did.

Nevertheless, she had to stay the night. Lyn woke up at around midnight after having a very vivid dream - she got dragged out of the cold waves of the sea and onto the shore, where she'd later been discovered.

And there was this man again. The one wearing this traditional wedding tux, the one she saw right before losing conscience. He saved her. This man must have been her guardian angel.

But that was probably just her brain making things up. It must have been that. There is no other possible explanation. People don't just turn up in the sea out of nowhere and she was pretty sure there had been no other person in sight. 

Yes, he was most definitely a product of her imagination. Lyn nodded in agreement to her thoughts and looked up. 

As she turned her head in order to get an idea of her surroundings, she almost jumped when she saw that every wall was covered with black paint, saying "15" over and over again.
